Ok so the duplex we lived in when we first moved to Iowa City was having an open house because it's for sale. So of course we had to go look. What a fun time we had remembering. Home Alone came out when we lived at that house so of course the kids wanted to slide down the stairs on a sled. Only problem was there was a wall at the bottom, not an open door. So they had to settle for rolling down it in sleeping bags. The rest of the house has been updated and is beautiful now, I don't think our furniture all matched when we lived there. The living room is pretty small, but the kitchen is huge and we remember lots of fun times in that kitchen having people over (I miss all those cupboards), watching the kids play out in the back with all the other neighbor kids (we moved when Blake was 2). We could see the neon sign from the Moose Lodge across the street that is now Willowwind School. It was a great place to grow our family for a few years.

Fun!! I didn't understand what open house you were going to the other day when you text me, now I get it! Wow, has that place changed! It's been awhile since we lived there, huh? It was a great place and I remember a lot about that place. Remember the tornado shelter in the pantry- I don't think they make anything like that anymore!
I wondered what you were reminiscing about till I saw the kitchen then I knew exactly what the pics were. I remember that house too. Playing in the backyard and your big deck, there was room for everyone.
That deck doesn't look so big anymore, but it was a great place. Lots of birthday parties with friends and family! That crawl space under the closet floor was kind of scary but we did use it a couple of times didn't we?
